But the fight is far from over, and what happens in the next five games could define their entire season.
Survival scraps are not won in one afternoon. They're about grinding out results, holding your nerve when it matters, and claiming points wherever you can.

Premier League analysis: Too soon or time to go? Every EPL sacking rated
Eight managers have already been sacked in the Premier League this season, a brutal reminder of how unforgiving the division has become.
In this article, Sports News Blitz writer Zephryn Dockree looks at each of the eight sackings and assesses whether they were truly justified or whether some clubs may have pulled the trigger too soon.
Premier League analysis: Does sacking managers always cause a ‘bounce’ in results?
The Premier League has long prided itself on being one of the most competitive divisions in world football.

Ange Postecoglou opinion: 24 hours of vindication for ex Tottenham and Forest boss
In his two and a half years in English football, Ange Postecoglou hasn’t been one to bury his thoughts and please people.
The infamous ‘I always win things in my second season’ amongst numerous rants in press conferences about his performance and capability at both Tottenham Hotspur and Nottingham Forest hasn’t always rubbed the public the right way.
However, Postecoglou can’t have had a more vindicating 24 hours in his career, as both his successors Thomas Frank and Sean Dyche lost their jobs with the teams firmly in a relegation battle.
The fact the Australian manager was set to appear on Gary Neville’s ‘Stick to Football’ podcast the very same day Frank lost his job created the perfect moment for Postecoglou to have the last laugh, as Sports News Blitz writer Oliver Powell reports.

Premier League news: Five key talking points around the relegation battle as Thomas Frank sacked
After Tuesday’s slate of games, the relegation picture is a confusing one – Wolves and Burnley look set for the Championship next year, but who will join them is far from certain.

Tottenham news: Roberto De Zerbi the favourite to replace Thomas Frank at Spurs after Marseille exit
Bookmakers Skybet have priced Roberto De Zerbi at 10/11 to replace Thomas Frank in the Tottenham dugout after the Dane’s sacking.

Now, his well-timed availability has induced speculation around the managerial vacancy at Tottenham, although a host of big names are in the mix too.
